Benefits of Acai Berry Detox:
The acai berry is a small, round, black fruit with powerful antioxidant properties. Is is commonly found in health foods and juices and has even become a popular ingredient in some ice creams for its unique and amicable flavor. The scientific properties of the fruit confirm that they're the real deal. Almost everyone knows that antioxidants are important nutritionally, they eliminate free radicals.
The Acai Berry Diet formula is also a smart choice because it contains polyphenols which are antioxidant compounds that have the capacity to neutralize free radicals produced by regular exercise. And that's important when you are trying to get in shape. Acai Berry coupled with the Diatrix® Diet is one of the most powerful forms of weight loss. It can help boost your metabolism which is the body’s engine that drives calorie burning power.
From a nutritional point of view, the acai berry delivers on two important fronts:
Beneficial antioxidant effects.
The acai berry contains antioxidants, substances that fight harmful molecules, known as free radicals. Too many free radicals can cause damage to human tissues and lead to a wide variety of medical disorders, including heart disease.
The acai berry’s deep purple pigment is responsible for its antioxidant benefits, which are similar to those in other dark berries, such as blueberries and blackberries. The pigment contains anthocyanins (pronounced anth-oh-SIGH-a-nins), a powerful class of phytonutrients — nutritious components of plants — that serve as antioxidants. Foods that contain anthocyanins have strong red, blue, or purple colors.
The strength of the antioxidant effects in various foods is measured by the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) test. The higher the ORAC score, the stronger the antioxidant effect. “The acai berry scores quite high,” Dr. Porter says.
It should be noted, however, that in a recent study evaluating the antioxidant effects of certain juices, pomegranate juice, red wine, Concord grape juice, and blueberry juice scored higher, in that order, than acai berry juice.
Anti-inflammatory properties.
Another advantage of the acai berry is its anti-inflammatory effect. As the name suggests, anti-inflammatories fight inflammation, which has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease and stroke. “Many of the over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs work on the same pathway as the acai berry,” Porter notes.
